GlobalFoundries gains $35m US Government funding to accelerate 200mm GaN-on-Si chip production
What happened
GlobalFoundries received $35 million in US federal funding to accelerate the manufacturing of its gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon semiconductors at its Vermont facility. The funding aims to bring the company closer to large-scale production of GaN chips for high-power applications in 5G/6G, automotive, and industrial IoT. Watch: This signals a long-term increase in GaN-on-Si capacity, potentially easing future supply constraints for power electronics, but has no immediate impact on current pricing.
